I KNOW ALOT of unfaithful women, women of today DO expect ALOT from men I DO agree with you on this!!!! However back in the day women were able to stay home take care of house and kids men went to work , mowed the lawn on weekends took care of small fix it things ect. today MANY MANY men don’t know how to fix a DAMNED thing can’t work on a car or any such thing !!!!! Now with most families NEEDING two incomes families are growing apart instead of together, women are meeting new men on the job and they are just as unfaithful as men have been!!!

You did not read my other posts. Sooner or later that would have been copied and pasted here.

I have asked three women for their hand. Rejected. I would like to be, but I have gotten jaded. That is too bad for them and for me. One was nice enough but it wouldn’t have worked. The second (and I thank God it didn’t happen) was a bi-polar psycho (she was on meds and didn’t tell me until way deep into the relationship, got off of them and attacked me with a toaster one fine morning) and this last one just does not, will not. Thinking about dumping her and going fishing and hunting for the rest of my days.

Glad you found yours, I am happy for you.

And most women today cannot cook their way out of a paper bag. I have yet to meet one who can cook better than I can. I admit that is a tall order, I own the kitchen.

The counterargument is that the law does virtually nothing to protect you if you make the commitment.

Your spouse can run off with another man.
She can file for support, and the courts will give it to her.
She can file for divorce, and ask for alimony. So long as she is discreet in her arrangements the courts will give it to her.
In the interim she can screw the entire New York Jets football team, while still being technically married to you, and the courts will force you to subsidize her each month.
She can take half of everything you’ve ever earned and leave you destitute.

After meeting a few guys who are living through this nightmare, you can’t blame men for not wanting to marry.

You are correct about the existence of two camps. But the same professor (Wilcox) who is in this video has written that the alleged +50% divorce rate is misleading. Although it is true that about half of all marriages end in divorce, that number is skewed by the failure of second and third marriages for many people.

The number is skewed somewhat by failed 2nd & 3rd remarriages. Somewhat.

But among the 50% that don't divorce, a large percentage of those men that tough out marriage have wives that cheat, nag or are big spenders.

The thing about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s marriage, is that I’m not sure which one of them, we are supposed to feel sorry for.

I mean Bill Clinton is a lying, cheating douchebag.

And Hillary Clinton is a nightmare.

MGTOW video makers will vaporize this.

This would be low hanging fruit, considering that the premise for the entire argument is based on bulls**t man-shaming language. They might as well go for broke by also claiming that men that don't marry are all basement dwelling virgins who probably have small penises. That is the usual modus operandi for feminists and trad-cons when trying to shame men into marriage.

The unfortunate reality is that marriage just doesn't pass any realistic or sane cost-benefit analysis for men. There is a severe lack of quality women out there in the first place. Even most of the "church going" women these days are toxic.

The author has experienced divorce himself on multiple occasions. As have I.

Having your life pulled away from you thru your butthole, believe me is a painful and lasting memory, which has, perhaps unfairly, but none the less taken me out of the pool for every getting married again.

I went and had a vasectomy so there would never be an oops again.

All my children bought their mothers lies over the decades, and I never see them. Its been 20 years. Now that all the child support is all paid off. I simply do not hear from them anymore. And I will add that my experience is the norm, not the exception. Some had it far worse.

In the end, it must be for the best, for everyone concerned. I may not be the happiest I could be, but I am at least in control of my own destiny, for good or bad.

I am not a lawyer, so what follows represents what I have read or have been told by several unfortunate friends, male and female, who have gone through divorce in my state (Georgia).

The law on spousal support (alimony) varies by state. Support is almost always temporary and goes to the spouse who makes substantially less money, if this is true of either one. In Georgia, for example, alimony is almost unheard of if both spouses are working and the lowest-earning spouse can support (him-) herself. The only assets subject to division in the divorce decree are those accumulated during the marriage.

If there are children involved, things are more complicated and costly. The amount of child support depends on the monthly income of the noncustodial parent, the number of children, and the cost of family health insurance. As an example, if you are the noncustodial parent, make $72,000 per year, your family health insurance costs $500 per month, and you have one child, your child support payment will be somewhere between $1000 and $1300 per month.

And, apparently, the courts don’t care about who ran around on whom or who “does” how many people during the separation and after the divorce.

If I had a nickel for every "church going" woman I've met that's become an expert at

I'd have at least fifty dollars.

Problem is the good ones are very poorly marked. Maybe thump them like a cantaloupe? ;-)
